Dynamic Man was an android superhero published by Dynamic Publications, Inc., one of Harry "A" Chesler's imprints. He has numerous similarities to an earlier character of the same name, including name, origin story, and powers. It is unclear to what extent this character was copied off of the earlier Dynamic Man, but it is nearly certain that their similarities are no coincidence.

He appeared in all issues of Dynamic Comics #1-3 and #8-24 (1941-48), and appeared on the covers of #2 and 3.

[edit] Fictional character biography

Dynamic Man was an android created by the brilliant scientist Dr. Moore, who was killed just as his creation reached completion. Dynamic Man then began his crime fighting career, and soon took the identity of Bert McQuade, a high school football coach recently killed. Bert's younger brother Ricky became his sidekick, Dynamic Boy. His powers, and Dynamic Boy's, included flight and super strength.

[edit] Project Superpowers

Dynamic Man appears in the mini-series Project Superpowers. He is shown to be the head of the "Dynamic Family" which consist of him, Dynamic Boy, an unnamed female android and an army of androids. They are shown to be a secret power behind the world, similar to "The Four" in the series Planetary. Oddly the creative team chose to name this incarnation of Dynamic Man "Curt Cowan", the alias of the Timely Comics Dynamic Man currently bring revived in Marvel Comic's maxi-series The Twelve.
